Absolutely loving it.

I am freaking appalled at how little the EMT-Basics in this country know and how they run around completely screwing with peoples acid-base system and all manner of other highly important life functions. It is like an entirely different universe now that I have some medic class time under my belt.

How about you? School going well?

I thought the exact same thing! Absolutely unbelievable. It's going well, finishing up didactic on January 17th, then clinicals and internship. How far in are you?

Sasha, all of the various disagreements aside, I would be proud to have you as my partner. I've watched you grow as a professional on here and have to say that I agree with your student's assessment of your abilities. ...

Here here! :beerchug:

He meant since you have. ICQ which by the way was before my time, means you are old-er.

Because it was around a long time ago.

Since he has also somehow right.
But to be honest I had not thought about exactly what he means.


If I remember the German I learned as a I child, the most direct translation is "altertümlich". I'm sorry if I messed that up. I don't get much practice in writing in German and even less with regards to speaking it.

What do you write I can understand very well.
Luckily I'm not here to teach you my language. That would be funny.
I think I'm better EMT. And I remain so in future.:)

Glad to see this thread is still going.

I'm home for Christmas break right now. A very welcome change from the pace of international disaster relief and paramedic school. ^_^

So how is everyone? It's been a while.

Lights! I've missed you!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that, Rob :( I've been in your exact shoes myself; I know it can be very frustrating. Thoughts and prayers go out to your friend and his family.

Would it be wrong for them to come break your windshield?

I'm so sorry Rob. Like I said earlier, if you need anything, let me know.

On a different note, today started out promising, but at this point my partner has made me want to beat my head against the ambulance...

Open enrollment 2012, my agency is offering LegalShield. For $7.36 a paycheck, you get:

Free Wills
Traffic Ticket Representation
IRS Audit Representation
Free Legal Document Review
A wealth of online resources
Major Trial Defense 60-300 hours
24/7 Emergency after hours access.





Hmm... I don't plan on getting a traffic ticket, but getting a lawyer for those alone can be $200-500 for basic help. Might be worth it?

The problem with traffic ticket is that most of the time you should be able to handle the legal footwork yourself.
